Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS)\u00a0is an effect of the mother\u2019s drug use during pregnancy, leading to both short and long-term side-effects on both the mother and child. \u00a0Consistent drug use by the mother can increase an infant\u2019s risk of both long-term and short-term complications.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Drugs that can cause ill health effects in an infant include opioids, stimulants like cocaine or amphetamines, antidepressants, depressants like alcohol, and nicotine.<\/p>\nWatch - Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome - Complications<\/a>\n

This blog will analyze some of the complications that present themselves in infants diagnosed with NAS.<\/p>\n

Neonatal Abstinence Complications<\/h2>\n

1. Low Birth Weight<\/h3>\n

A healthy baby is supposed to weigh a certain amount at birth. A baby under 5 pounds 8 ounces is considered underweight.<\/p>\n

2. Poor Fetal Growth<\/h3>\n

Poor fetal growth can be related to low birth weight. During pregnancy, a baby may not grow to the average size due to drug use.<\/p>\n

3. Jaundice<\/h3>\n

When exposed to drug use in utero, a baby\u2019s eyes and skin can turn yellow. This colour change indicates a problem with the liver.<\/p>\n

4. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)<\/h3>\n

Before the age of 1, babies sometimes pass away in their sleep unexpectedly. The cause of SIDS is usually unexplained.<\/p>\n

\"Infographics<\/p>\n

5. Developmental Delays<\/h3>\n

Babies are expected to reach certain developmental milestones throughout their life. A child exposed to drugs in the womb may experience delays in walking, speech and language, social skills, etc.<\/p>\n

6. Motor Problems<\/h3>\n

Babies suffering from NAS may suffer ill effects on their motor skills. NAS can affect the development of bones and muscles.<\/p>\n

7. Vision Problems<\/h3>\n

Many parts of the body can be affected by drug use. When it involves the eyes, this can cause lifelong vision problems.<\/p>\n

8. Ear Infections<\/h3>\n

While many children suffer from ear infections throughout childhood, NAS can cause persistent and long-term ear infections.<\/p>\n

The types of substances used by the mother can affect which of these complications occur in an infant. If you or someone you know are ingesting opioids\u00a0or other drugs\u00a0while pregnant, talking to your doctor about future steps is important.<\/p>\n
